I love how I feel solving crossword puzzles and have been doing them for over 50 years. I started doing them in the daily paper with pencil. As my confidence grew, I did them in ink. Thrilled when they were available online. Whether they are challenging or breezy doesn’t matter. I’m always learning something: vocabulary, trivia, slang, people, geography, history. The eureka moment when I encounter a misdirect and eventually come up with the right answer. I am in awe of the talented and witty constructors here.
For those who miss the acrostics - here's a link: <a href="https://www.xwordinfo.com/SelectAcrostic" target="_blank">https://www.xwordinfo.com/SelectAcrostic</a> HEX constructed NYT acrostics for 25 years and started this website, and in 2023 David Balton and Jane Stewart took over. Archive goes back to 1999! 694 acrostics on this site - lots to chew on. I discovered this a few years ago and it may not be new information to ardent puzzle seekers.
@Xword Junkie The correct spelling is Whoa. Woah is a common misspelling.
